Multiple photos in one tweet #21

Closed nickom closed 10 years ago

Twitter recently announced they were going to roll out the ability to have up to four images included in one tweet. It would be awesome if we could update the screenshot worker/twoops to be sure we're capturing all the media associated with each tweet.

I'm not sure how this is being pass through into the Twitter API, but we already have an example on Politwoops of missing the second image:

The additional images are now being exposed through the API. I will update the screenshot worker to use the new API extension but Twitter is not doling out the extra images for older tweets so we can't get them retroactively.

Here's the relevant API documentation update just for posterity.

Thanks for looking into this and no worries about the older images. You're the best!
